There's Elena's Greek/Armenian on Glendale Blvd. fairly close to there. It's a good, inexpensive kabob place. Patio ambience. There are many restaurants on Brand, but it depends on what meal you want, price range, etc.

Toluca Lake's Riverside Drive at the Hollywood Way or Pass Avenue offramps from the 134 has plenty of places, among them Mo's and one of the original Bob's Big Boys across the side street from each other. I like Mo's much better, yet nostalgia might take you to Bob's.

"Hi everybody, and a very safe and sane Thursday to you wherever you may be." God bless Vin Scully.

The Forest Lawn Glendale and Hollywood locations are so close to each other that recs for restaurants near either location WILL overlap. In fact, I would say that with so many freeways in the Pasadena, Eagle Rock, Glendale, Burbank, North Hollywood area that any restaurants in those cities would be a reasonable distance to drive for good food.

Whadaya Whadaya? Who died and made you geography boss? The main word is “NEAR.” IMO, a 10 minute drive for good Chow is a reasonable distance – it is near. Moreover, the OP might be heading in that direction after the long awaited visit to the Glendale area – could be going in any direction. Hence, many options.

in northern Glendale just off the 2...a quick 5-8 minutes to the cemetary...I drive that route everyday.I've become a creepy food-stalker since this place opened.If not Bashan,go to La Cabanita which is 2 doors down.
